Oculyze & BIOTECON Diagnostics sign strategic partnership

Oculyze, the world’s premier platform for mobile image analysis and BIOTECON Diagnostics, a

renowned food and beverage quality testing provider today announced the signing of a strategic

partnership. The agreement signed at the corporate offices of BIOTECON Diagnostics in Potsdam,

appoints the Company as the exclusive global distributor of Oculyze’s latest technological innovation

the Oculyze Better Brewing (BB) 2.0.

The Oculyze BB 2.0, a quality German made hardware/software combination, enables breweries to

determine viability and concentration of their yeast in less than a minute. It is compact, weighing under

200 g and can easily fit within the palm of a brewer's hand. The technology comes equipped with a

high quality optical scope that is comparable to a high end laboratory microscope and is compatible

with most android mobile phones and tablets.

Signing the agreement, Kilian Moser, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Oculyze said: “I am

delighted to announce this strategic partnership with BIOTECON Diagnostics as we look to rapidly

build and consolidate the Oculyze BB 2.0 market share and brand value across the world. As a

relatively young and innovative biotech firm, we believe in focusing on our core strengths to

continuously create and roll out key technological solutions that are smart, easy to use and cost

efficient. By entrusting BIOTECON Diagnostics to manage the global distribution of our flagship

product, we are confident of capitalizing on their strengths towards offering the Oculyze BB 2.0 to an

even wider audience. BIOTECON Diagnostics brings a wealth of experience within the area of sales

and distribution by cooperating with leading international manufacturers, and we look forward to the

beginning of a mutually beneficial and successful partnership.”

Speaking on behalf of BIOTECON Diagnostics, Alois Schneiderbauer, Chief Business Officer of

have been built up over the years with various partners, also in the brewing sector, and we continue to

Oculyze BB 2.0 to our global portfolio as we also believe in the technology and advantage of the

product and have many common interests with Oculyze. We look forward to further developing this

relationship and contributing to the establishment and market presence of the Oculyze BB 2.0.".
